A $30 donation would be enough to feed a family of four, RECAP says. Donations from schools, supermarkets, churches and civic groups are down this year, said Ariel Tavares, RECAP's Nutrition Program coordinator.

Monetary donations will go farther than food, Tavares said, since RECAP can buy food in bulk for less. For information on how to donate, call RECAP at 845-342-3978 or visit www.recap.org.
